A silent issue in mainstream America during the 1980s, the AIDS epidemic grew quickly into an unstoppable force that threatened all populations. The efforts of those who turned AIDS into a manageable syndrome are depicted in "How to Survive a Plague," which screens Saturday at the Rosendale Theatre. After the screening, veterans of AIDS activist organization ACT UP will join prevention specialists. It's a sobering way to mark World AIDS Day.
